title: [Prophylaxis and treatment of periimpalntitis].
abstract: Ultrasonic Vector System (Dürr Dental, Germany) is the best means for complex treatment of peri-implantitis. The therapeutic effect of the system proved anti-inflammatory and regenerative impact of calcium hydroxyapatite on the soft tissue around the implant. The effectiveness of the result provided full, persistent and safe removal of bacteria, dental plaque, infected granulation tissue; the possibility of regular monitoring, prevention of re-infection of pathological pockets, without damaging the hard and soft tissues around the implant, the implant itself and artificial fragile crown, securing superb cleaning and polishing of the implant surface, which is an important condition for the further reduction and inactivation of pathogenic bacteria population. Healing peri-implantitis pockets at the expense of using conventional oral hygiene is not possible. Tools of carbon fiber in combination with a suspension Vector Fluid Polish and the Vector machine successfully accomplish the function of disinfection and polishing. The aim of the research was to present the results of peri-implantitis treatment with a new ultrasonic device Ultrasonic Vector System. Surgical treatment (21% of patients) was atraumatic. The risk of infection was decreased and necessary conditions were created for a significant acceleration of the tissue healing process. Relying on the successful results we recommend Vector- therapy before surgical procedures. Complex treatment was repeated depending on the clinical manifestations of inflammation around the implant. To prevent peri-implantitis, and get timely diagnosis of unwanted changes, and to maintain implants and the soft tissues around them in a healthy condition, the patients were strongly recommended to visit the dentist 3-4 times a year. They were offered professional oral hygiene and accessible parts of the implants with the help of a Vector machine. Relying on the results of the research we conducted during the treatment of peri-implantitis, we have seen the "magic" efficiency and the need to apply the «Vector» system into the complex treatment of this disease.
